Ralph Fiennes – 10 Best Movies

By Vlad Zakh · February 7, 2026

Ralph Fiennes can play a Nazi commandant, a hotel concierge, and a snake-faced dark wizard with equal conviction, which is exactly the range that’s kept him working steadily across every kind of film for three decades. In Schindler’s List (1993): Essential and difficult, and still one of the most important films ever made. Equally memorable is The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014): A hotel concierge’s absurd inheritance scheme spirals across a fictional European country.
